This anime just lost half of its appeal for me. How's it possible for an anime with "panzer" name and no Soviet tank? It's like Azumanga without Osaka, or Strike Witches without Elia x Sanya, or Upotte without the catgirl AK =(

Um, a panzer is short for panzerkampfwagen, "Armored Combat Car", aka tank. And they're using a Panzer IV. They've got the panzer already.

Just saw the somewhat atrocious subs from a certain group who thought adding random German would be a good idea.

The episode itself with subs was quite enjoyable though, especially since it confirms a few inferences from the raw. Though some, like the incentives to join the tank classes, where quite

Also, giving us an awesome battle at the start only to cut into the story prologue is such a tease. I WANT MOAR TANKS!!

Spoiler for Manga spoilers:

Especially since the battle against St. Gloriana, aka the school using those Churchill with accompanying Matildas, shown in this episode's prologue actually progresses into urban combat in the 2nd half of the battle, which was nice to see.

And now I play some World of Tanks to sate my tank needs...

The only thing saving this one are the fact there are girls in it.
This is definitely a shounen thing.
Either then that and Panzer fans everyone else has nothing to see here.
Totally not watching it.

A world where it's strange to think of men and tanks, and you aren't a real woman unless you've operated a tank. Interesting. I guess that's one way to get a girl in a tank.

I wonder who's operating the super-carrier? Judging by one of the scenes during the ED, the carrier is indeed massive, dwarfing the pier and the coastal town. I wonder if we'll get an explanation for that.

Just from eyeballing it, the aircraft carrier is at least a mile tall from sea level, if not more. I think the animators got lazy and just slapped on town onto an aircraft carrier without considering how impractical/impossible it is to use a standard aircraft carrier for their design.

The premisse of the show is just so ridiculous that it becomes automatically awesome and the episode itself seems to indicate that the story doesn't take itself too seriously which is a major plus when we're dealing with something so incredibly random.

I must say I was laughing all the way to the bank the whole episode simply because of how ridiculous the whole thing is. And on top of that the animation was pretty decent, the character designs incredibly cute and the colors pretty vibrant. I think this one's a keeper for me.

PS: btw was I the only one thinking that the ground texture at the start were in dire need of some tessellation?
